- Abstract
The present study reports the case of a 51-year-old woman with chest pain, dyspnea and upper chest vessels engorgement, with no clinical evidence of granulomatous disease. Chest imaging study revealed a mediastinal mass with calcifications that was approached by mediastinoscopy with biopsy. Histopathological study demonstrated an etiologically undefined chronic inflammatory pattern compatible with fibrosing mediastinitis.
